Publication Pool

The funding from the publication pool allows results from the projects to be published in listed journals. The publications pool provides financial support to cover part of the costs of publishing results achieved in advanced projects in listed journals; for this purpose, the publication must be submitted so it can be verified that IZKF is mentioned in the acknowledgement.

IZKF as sole supporter:
IZKF funds these publications with 1,500 euros, if the total costs of the publication are up to 3,000 euros. If the total costs of the publication are more than 3,000 euros, IZKF funds theis publication with 2,000 euros. IZKF does not fund reprints.

Several supporters:
For publications in which one or more supporters are mentioned, the IZKF publication grant will be reduced by 500.00 €. This results in the following subsidy:

Publication costs
up to 1,500 €: coverage of the costs minus 500 €, max. 1.000 €
up to 3,000 €: cost coverage of 1.000 €
over 3,000 €: cost coverage of 1.500 €

For open access publications, please apply for funding from the open access publishing fund provided by the Executive Board and DFG first (http://www.ub.fau.de/open-access/)

In order to differentiate the cost monitoring of the numerous Open Access publications and to provide the FAU with correct reporting, we would like to ask you make a note on the “Allonge” when submitting the invoice: “No Open Access“, “Open Access Journal“, “Open Access Option“. We assign accounts according to the following cost centers. The explanations below can help with the correct classification.

690315 Publication costs (without Open Access)
690316 Publ. Open Access Journals
690317 Publ. Open Access Option in Substription-Journals
690318 Publ. Open Access books

690316
Open access fees in genuine (so-called “golden”) Open Access journals should be posted to 690316. You can recognise such invoices from publishers such as Frontiers, MDPI, PLOS, Hindawi etc. by keywords such as Article Processing Charge. (Or keywords such as APC, Article Processing Fee, Article Publishing Charge, OA APC, Open Access Charge, etc.)

690317
Open Access Charges for traditional Subscription Journals are posted to 690317. The researcher had chosen the option to buy the article out of the subscription. Accordingly, invoices usually include references to the option, e.g. Author’s Choice, Open Access Option, Open Choice, Open Option, etc.

690318
The cost center 690318 is intended for Open Access fees for books or book chapters. Invoices usually include terms such as Open Access Book Processing Charge, BPC etc.

690315
All publication costs, with the exception of the above-mentioned Open Access fees, can be posted to the previous cost center 690315, as before.

These include, for example, printing costs and printing cost subsidies for printed works and additional costs for this (e.g. colour charge, page charge, excess charge, cover charge), but also subsidiary charges such as submission charge, fast track charge, etc., which are not causally related to Open Access. Therefore, if there is no reference to Open Access or Article / Book Processing Charges on an invoice, any other publication costs can be posted to 690315.

  • IZKF does not fund reprints
  • for publications resulting from advanced projects or from results achieved in advanced projects, funding from the publications pool can be applied for and provided up until 12 months after funding of the project has ended
